HAMPTON BEACH -- Take a trip to the Caribbean without leaving Hampton Beach by visiting the newest boutique in town.

Pink Shutters, located in the Oceanside Mall at 367 Ocean Boulevard, opened recently with a Caribbean-themed party complete with refreshments and music setting the scene for shopping among the racks of brightly colored clothes and unusual accessories.

Stylish embellished jackets, flowing skirts, t-shirts, jeans, gauzy blouses, beach cover-ups, filmy sarongs and scarves, bathing suits, jewelry, handbags, watches, sweaters, hoodies, and much more tempt even the most casual shopper. Owners FA Lundeen and Peggy Seymour are sisters as well as partners in Pink Shutters. They have combined their fashion sense to create a fun, colorful boutique with things that won't be found in every shop in town. The location completes the eclectic group of shops adjacent to DW's Oceanside Inn in the delightful courtyard just steps from the beach. Call Pink Shutters at (603) 926-3604 for more information.
